7. a. short story, “The Tell-Tale Heart,”

8. d. but-an eyesore

9. b. “sale,”

10. c. “Leinengen versus the Ants,”

Explanation:

1. All of the people at the school, including the teachers and b. students, were glad when summer break came.

The use of "students," ends the dependent clause.

2. Sit up straight c. .

The sentence is a simple statement so ends with a full-stop.

3. They asked what time the department store would open b. .

It is a simple statement so ends with a full-stop.

4. Who do you think will win the contest c. ?

A question, so ends with a question mark.

5. Choose the sentence below with the correct punctuation.

a. Ted and Janice, who had been friends for years, went on vacation together every summer.

The use of the comma before and after the dependent clause provides an added information to Ted and Janice.

6. To a. everybody’s surprise, Anne was on time for her math class.

Everybody is already a plural, so the apostrophe comes before the "s".

7. In Edgar Allen Poe’s a. short story, “The Tell-Tale Heart,” Edgar Allen Poe describes a man with a guilty conscience.

The name of the short story must be written within quotation marks, and the use of the "," after "short story" provides an introduction or detail of the work that is talked about.

8. Billboards are considered an important part of advertising for big business, d. but-an eyesore by their critics.

The use of "-" shows the connection of the two words in the sentence.

9. I can never remember how to use those two common words, “sell,” meaning to trade a product for money, or b. “sale,” meaning an event where products are traded for less money than usual.

Putting the word "sale" in between quotation marks provides the same intention of the specific word that is dealt with.

10. The class just finished reading c. “Leinengen versus the Ants,” a short story by Carl Stephenson about a plantation owner’s battle with army ants.

Names of books are to be put within quotation marks/ inverted commas.

Which of the following character traits does the father in “The Bundle of Sticks” most possess?

Schach [20]

Answer:

Wisdom

Explanation:

The father in "The Bundle of Sticks" taught his sons an important lesson on unity. When he noticed that his sons were always quarrelling among themselves, he applied wisdom (the quality of applying good judgement, experience, and knowledge in handling matters) by using a bundle of sticks to teach them an important lesson on unity.

He gave them a bundle of sticks to break individually which they were unable to do. But when he gave them each of the sticks from the bundle, they successfully broke them. He thus taught them that when they are unified no challenge or enemy can overcome them.
